A number of societal risks pose serious challenges to families'
well-being, many of which cut across divisions of class and race.
These challenges include: changes in the labor market and economy;
the increasing participation of mothers in the labor force; the
changing nature of family structure and the composition of
households; and the increase in the number of immigrant families.
Key institutions in the lives of families, including places of
employment and schools, can play a significant role in fostering
families' capacity to adapt to the potential challenges they face.
Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and Community
presents papers--written by leading scholars in varied disciplines
including economics, developmental and educational psychology,
education, and sociology--discussing factors that influence
resilience development. The authors' research focuses on emerging
issues that have significant implications for policy and practice
in such areas as employment and new technologies; maternal
employment and family development; family structure and family
life; immigration, migration, acculturation, and education of
children and youth; and social and human services delivery. The
book's overall goal is to take stock of what is known from research
and practice on some of the challenges facing children and families
for policy development and improvement of practices.
